It took me less then 3 minutes by car to get from the P&R Beggen to the parking in front of the Sandkaul on Campus Walferdange of the Université du Luxembourg. The distance was more or less 1.5km. I’ve checked this track using Google Maps, because they now offer the option to get directions for […]
I’m trying to free up some space on my internal hard-drive and find a lot of funny stuff from the past, that I think is somewhat worth sharing with my readers… Today, we have very short article, with a screenshot from a web site. It was published 28th January 2005 in the FEIERKROP, the only […]

Sometimes long speeches are necessary to convince people of some not-yet-clear truths. Sometimes very simple words can do the same.
